The difference being your neighbor Jesus was named at birth and a personal name whereas "Rasta" is based on Ras Tafari and what some people mindlessly call themselves while acting the complete opposite.

But you already know that and just want to be cynical and argumentative, right Chimino?

I am neither pious nor righteous, so the term wouldn't fit. If a person chose to call themselves a Christian and then acted like an asshole I would make the same critique. That's not self righteous, that's critical thinking.

Jeff u r 1 of the most humble and intelligently thoughtful people I have ever reasoned with. Chimino haven't metcha but u seem like a good dude. Don't get caught up in this tasteless overly re-heated and re-hashed @#$%&-stirring garble. Forward the positive vibes to SNWMF.
